LOCK.

Patented Sept. 2, '1913.

Serial No. 722,894.

To (dt whom, :1' if may concern Re it known that I, Iliinois IIANrnio, a citizen ot thel Ilnited States, residiiig at tillmrlestown, in the county ot' Sutiolk and State ot Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Imprownnent in Locks, oli which the t'oliowing is a specification.

This invention relates to a combination trunk lock, the object ot the invention being to provide a simple and convenientI lock adapted especially for attachment to trunks and similar packing boxes, or cases, whereby the same can be quickly opened withoutI the use ot a key, and at the same time be securely locked against any party not 'familiar with the combination.

`With this object in view, the invention consists o'lf the novel 'features hereinafter descrilgied, pointed out in the claims and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which,

Figure Yl is a 'fa-ce view. Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2*-2 ot' F 2:3. Fig. f3 is a vertical longitudinal section through the lock, parts being shown in locked position. F i g. le is a detail section upon the line twN/t of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 an inner' face view of a rotatable index plate. Fig. (i is a perspective view of an arbor. Fig. 7 is a detail side elevation of one of the disks.

In these drawings, l represents the body portion oil a trunk, boX or case and Q the usual hinged lid or cover intended to be locked in closed position with the body portion l. The front tace ot' said body portion .t is .suital'ily recessed as shown at to receive the lock casing il and the mechanism contained therein. This casing may be ot any suitable shape and design and I do not desire to be limited to any particular it'orm ot casing for the locking parts, nor to any particular method for securing said casing o1' other parts to the trunk, box or casing. In the lower portion ot' this easing is mounted an arbor 5 adapted for vertical movement in a. slot (3 'formed in the :front .tace ot the casing Al-. This arbor has loosely mounted upon it a disk 7, provided with an outwardly projecting sleeve or hub portion 8 upon which is fixed a rotatable milled plate 9 carrying a suitable `index or pointer 10. The disk 7 is radially slotted as shown at 11 and is also provided with an inwardly projeeting pin LZ. Preferably in order to iliaeilitate changing the combination, I prefer to form a plurality oit thread-ed openings 19 in the disk 7 and also in a coacting disk llt which is mounted loosely upon the arbor. rlhc disk llt also carries a pin l5, and by threading the pins l2 and l5 they can be changed Vtrom one opening lil to the other or any number oll these openings may be provided thus permitting many changes in the relative positions otl the pins. The disk tft also radially slotted being similar in eonstruction to the disk 7 and spaced by i suit able washer lt' ll'rom said disk 7. The pins l2 and t5 project lrom the adjacent` faces ot the disks and as said disks are rotated one pin is adapted to pick up the other.

A suitable stop 1 7 is arranged upon the inner tace ot the casing lA and immediately below the slot (S said stop preventing downi'ard movement. o'lf the arbor and the locking mechanism except when the radial slots ll o't the. two disks are in horizontal alinement with each other and at the same time register' with the stop 17. it locking plate i 5% is secured by a suitable nut upon the sipiared inner portion ot the arbor and is angled and reduced in width throughout its upper portion to term a, locking bolt 1.9 as shown in ltigs. 2 and il. The opposite sides ot the plate are split and bent to ilorm hook members .20 to which the lower ends oit the springs Q1 are secured, the upper ends ot the springs being secured to suitable hooks Q2 carried by the upper portion oil. the casing` Lt. These springs hold the arbor in the upper end oi the slot (t and also normally hold said bolt in engagement with a suitable slot in a lug Q3 carried by a hinged spring pressed hasp ll. The hinged hasp 2l is carried by a. suitable plate 25 which may be riveted or otherwise secured to the cover portion 2 o'l" the trunk, which forms a suitable ground or sur'lace upon which the name oit the owner et the trunk may be placed.

Itrom the drawings and above descrip tion the operation ot the device will be clear. Ey turning` the plate t) with the thumb the disk 7 will be turned so that the pin 112 will pick up the pin 'l5 and rotate the disk l-l; thereby bringing the radial slot; 11 oi said disk into registry with the stop 17. The direction ot rotation is then reversed until the slot ill. ot disk 7 has been brought into registry with the stop 17. Downward pressure ot' the thumb upon the. plate 9 causes the arbor to move vertically in the slot (l, thereby carrying the locking plate 18 and bolt 1t) downwardly and disable opening through which the lug 23V works.

What l claim is l. In a look, a movable arbor, disks ro-y tatably carried thereby and radially slotted, a stop adapted to normally limit sliding movement of the arbor, the said slots being adapted to register with eaoh other and with said stop, a hasp, and means carried by the arbor adapted to normally engage said hasp.

2. A 'look oomprisingra hinged hasp, a casing, said easing having a suitable opening and also having a slot, a slotted lug oarried by the hasp adapted to work through the opening of the easing, an arbo-r mounted to slide in the slot of the easing, a stop oarried by the easing and in alinement with said slot, rotatable disks mounted upon the arbor and radially slotted, pins carried by the adjacent aoes of said disks and adapted to engage eaoh other, and a looking bolt earried by the arbor adapted to engage the looking means carried by the hasp, springs adapted to hold said arbor normally in the end of the slot adjacent the hasp, rotatable disks mounted upon the arbor, a lug oarried by the casing and in alinement with the slot, pins carried by adjacent faces of the disks, and means arranged upon the outside of the easing and Connected to one of said disks for the purpose of rotating the same, said disks being provided with radial slots, thereby adapting them to straddle the stop lug when said slots are brought into registry with eaoh other and also into registry with said lugs.
